My math is never great, but your idea could make me a hero with my financier (my wife).

Every book I’ve read describes the math a little bit differently, or focuses on different elements. 

I agree with Greg M..... follow the state laws, but in general they are often 30 days to return the deposit....IF they have one......Just need to figure out how much she owes on lost rent, damages, re-key etc and do the math whether she owes you or you owe her deposit .

So I guess this all just boils down to how much homework are you willing to do on a good enough property for the BRRRR method to be successful.

- The math seems to be showing a positive cashflow of $600 + a month from a conservative approach taking all costs into consideration.

Math stuff, I think.If someone is struggling and they still owe over 50% on their mortgage, wouldn't they be more eager for me to take the burden off them?

The math breaks down to 58k turn key, rented at 750 a month.

As you and others have mentioned, learning the areas I want to invest in will be part of my homework now. 

I don't think its a leading indicator - they just did their homework.

Everything I've seen on Roofstock was overpriced, by my math.
